Black Working Wives

Discover the groundbreaking insights of Black Working Wives by Bart Landry, published by the University of California Press in 2002. This compelling study spans 273 pages and delves into the significant yet often overlooked contributions of black women in America long before the feminist revolution of the 1970s. Landry argues that black women in two-parent families were already embracing an egalitarian lifestyle, a concept that remained largely unrecognized by many of their white counterparts for decades. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in black studies, women's studies, and the evolution of family dynamics in America. Join the conversation about race, gender, and social change as you explore the rich narratives and historical context presented in this thought-provoking work.
